U.S. Government Gives Afghan Army More Than $1 Billion In Ammo...

[paulitician]

Well...we did...you know...INVADE THEIR COUNTRY, after all. It's the least we can do. Build schools, armies, roads, and bridges. Maybe toss them a box of Band-Aids.


They don't have any rich people to tax to help pay for it.


A billion in ammo? Chump change compared to what we gave Iraq. I think Iraq lost about ten times that much just in the couch cushions.

'Old School Conservative.' Sorry, but i still can't stop crackin up over that one. You are such a fraud. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You are nothing but a bag of hyperbole.

Defend the Dear Leader at all costs, but you're an 'Old School Conservative.' Yeah sure. Uh huh.

A Billion Bucks in Bullets

The U.S. government has given the embattled Afghan National Army (ANA) more than $1 billion in taxpayer-funded ammunition, according to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s (SIGAR) latest oversight report.

This is in addition to $288 million that has been spent on ammunition for the troubled Afghan National Police (ANP), which has been cited by SIGAR for its widespread corruption.

The United States has spent more than $54 billion in total to arm, train, and sustain Afghanistan’s security forces, which continue to underperform and suffer low enlistment rates, according to SIGAR’s quarterly progress reports.

It is unclear just how much ammunition the $1.03 billion translates to and just how much of this ammo has been used.

In addition to the billion-dollar ammo purchase, the United States has spent more than $878 million on weapons for the ANA and another $5.6 billion on military vehicles.

However, a large amount of this money has been wasted on vehicles that either do not work or that have been destroyed beyond repair, according to SIGAR...

$1 billion for bullets?

Obama thinks it's an investment.

The Afghans will eventually give it back......

Just hope our troops keep their heads down when they do.

that billion dollars could have gone a long way back home

Our Government arms the most despicable dangerous cretins all over this World. Yet now, it wants to disarm its own People. Very dark times for our nation. Very dark.

After Bush knocked down the Hussein regime, he made the greatest military blunder of all time. He demobilized the Iraqi armed forces.

All those bullets have been coming back at us ever since.

Iraq, Afghan wars will cost to $4 trillion to $6 trillion, Harvard study says

The U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will cost taxpayers $4 trillion to $6 trillion, taking into account the medical care of wounded veterans and expensive repairs to a force depleted by more than a decade of fighting, according to a new study by a Harvard researcher.

Washington increased military benefits in late 2001 as the nation went to war, seeking to quickly bolster its talent pool and expand its ranks. Those decisions and the protracted nation-building efforts launched in both countries will generate expenses for years to come, Linda J. Bilmes, a public policy professor, wrote in the report that was released Thursday.

You can see why hyperbolic moaning over a few bullets is viewed with much hilarity at this point.

Oh...NOW you are complaining about the money spent? And a mere billion? BWA-HA-HA-HA!

I think you, or anyone, who doesn't have a problem with what Obama has been doing lost their right to criticize Bush.

You simply have no objectivity.

Nuff said.

Course we don't usually do it to disarm America's gun owners and especially after the Afghans have murdered so many of our troops.

Even Saddam wasn't shooting our soldiers when we helped him.

Obama just figures a dead soldier is one less vote for the GOP.

I wonder how many of those bullets are already on the black market?

Yes, lets just give massive amounts of Ammo to people who hate us. Sounds like a plan. Man, i know so many Americans who are suffering through this Ammo Shortage. It would be nice to have that Ammo available to them instead. So, whata ya say Big Brother?

That's actually an interesting perspective. Could you possibly imagine our Government giving a $Billion in Ammo to its own Citizens?

A Billion Bucks in Bullets??????
Really? Is the Afghan Army that bad at the target range?
Sounds like a huge kickback is in the works for someone.
Besides it is about time the Afghan government starts paying their own way.

They'll likely use them to kill our Soldiers. Awful inside attacks are happening everyday over there. It's a pretty horrific situation.

This may be contributing to the Ammo Shortage we're seeing here at home.
